DPRK Project with iMMAP/WFP, since 2010

I love any opportunity I get to work with other GIS professionals and learn new skills. Working as a digitizer and now as a team leader on the DPRK project has definitely given me that opportunity. Throughout this project, I’ve noticed that the leadership team works hard to try to promote individual progress and creativity while also maintaining the integrity of the product the team is working hard to create. I am very excited to see the project through to the end and be able to see the good that will come from it.

I think it’s great that, like in other professional fields, GISCorps offers GIS professionals the opportunity to volunteer and utilize their technical skills to support humanitarian relief.
